Portsmouth, Aug. 23.—A special

The Baby.
The amount that a baby learns dur
ing the first twelve months of its life
Is simply amazing. The develop
ment of little children during the first
five years, when systematically watch
ed and accurately tabulated, shows
results that would be incredible if
they were not vouched for by con
scientious observers. Tho nursery
period is absorbing. To tho young
mother it is filled with anxiety, ev
erything being new to her, and her
constant fear being lest she shall
make some fatal mistake. First ba
bies therefore come in for a good deal
more discipline than falls to the
lot of the fourth, fifth and sixth child,
if there htfppen to be so many In an
American home. People with large
families appreciate tho value of a lit
tle wholesome neglect. The mother
of seven is conveniently blind to pas
sing gusts of temper or trivial mls-
dem6anors which occasion great so
licitude to the mother of one, who is
like the (>oor, dlstraut hen with a
single chick.—Woman's Home Com
panion.
It Is now a misdemeanor in Georgia
to be found drunk in the public high
way. If you want to make a beast of
yourself you must take to the woods.
Mr. Roosevelt finds himself in a
very unenviable jtosition Just at this
time. He now realizes, perhaps, that
he should have studied the conditions
In the East a little closer before mak
ing his grand stand play.

AH the world hopes
To Live to a Hundred.
Scientists toll us now that there Is
no excuse for the uverage man und
woman for not living to u hundred
years. One philosopher said tho
other day that children should be
brought up with the admonition thut
they must endeavor to attain a cen
tury of life.
There are, indeed, many instances
where men have deliberately set an
extreme old age as tbe goal of their ef
forts, and havo achieved surprising
results.
There is the famous caso of Uugl
Cornaro, the dissolute Venetian no
bleman, who at 40 was told by bis
physicians that bis excesses had roado
It unlikely that he would live much
longer. He immediately adopted a
system of diet tho reverse to that to
which he hnd been accustomed, and
ate and drank only what was neces
sary to support life, until he actually
found that one egg a day was enough
solid matter to consume.
At 95 Cornaro published a new edi
tion of his book, "The Sure and Cer
tain Method of Attaining n* Long and
Healthful Life,” and In his 99th year,
In 1666, ho passed peacefully away,
apparently more from ennui than from
disease.
Comaro's "sure and certain meth
od,” It is Interesting to note, fs the
basis of all the advice that the scien
tists are giving today, namely, to eat
less, and much less meat, and live
soberly, cleanly and cheerfully.
